Hackney carriage unmet demand survey – Expressions of interest

Lancaster City Council currently licences 108 hackney carriages in its district which covers Lancaster, Morcambe and the Lune Valley. We intend to commission a survey to assess the current demand for hackney carriages within the district and the demand for and availability of wheelchair accessible vehicles.

We are inviting expressions of interest from companies who may be interested in carrying out such a survey. Expressions of interest must be received before 29 February 2016.
